Can anyone explain how to use the rules for epic play in the FrCs, and why they were changed to what is written in the ElH????? Thanx!

The FRCS was released before the ELH. They used early epic rules for the epic characters.

And these early rules work much better IMO.

There is some update regarding epic play in the FR in the Player's Guide.

We actually let the PC's in our game decide wheather they wanna use the FrCs version or the ELH version as they advance, but once you choose you must stick with that for the rest of your progression.

That's not hard to believe. The rules in the FRCS book take up, what; like a page or something? The ELH is a huge book.

I prefer the simple rules in the FRCS and the 3.5 DMG.

The ones in the 3.5 DMG.

Note that the ELH came out years before the 3.5 update. The rules in the new DMG are just a much improved version of them.

I like the ELH because the other rules are pretty much useless unless you're a wizard or sorceror. No more hit points, no more attack bonus increase.

I especially like the ELH rules because it gives a HUGE boost to anyone patient enough to take 20 levels in one class, namely bonus epic feats!

The ones in the 3.5 DMG.

Which are basically the same as the rules in the Epic Level Handbook, just revised.

LoL, I chose to take the ones in the FrCs due to simplicity.
